From: Pagadala Yesu Anjaneyulu <pagadala.yesu.anjaneyulu@xxxxxxxxx> The cleanup attribute runs kfree() when the variable goes out of scope. There is a possibility that the link_elems variable is uninitialized if the loop ends before an assignment is made to this variable. This leads to uninitialized variable bug. Fix this by assigning link_elems to NULL.
